what are the local scrappers. they are ladies you sold out. and then you take this all small they're pot that's the first thing is the first to go down they get this aluminum then you got a big idea but they get the money well then they can use the money after you get the money. for like a scrap or i don't take a long out on my ex her own painting and government property no trespassing i should tell you right kind of

a long time i forgot clarence could only life one is doing this you're not supposed to because there's all the. good stuff you know it doesn't go into. the bunch of need to do something. good. but he wasn't stuck playing around with the chicks by man he went out there and he was scrapped and not only know his name but anyway what happened when picked up one of her funk type of will bomb off the bomb range right so i took it back to slab saying. this guy supposed to be a twelve year military man experienced in orbit so he beat on the moment i am not supposed to believe that and common sense a lot happened the bomb blew up here and the other guy that was going to appear gone think this guy back away but he picked up the pieces not created on my team about my big money and scrapping it with all the money worth it if you argue about

coal mining he stepped on your hand or money bought. the good took one of the dozen . straight out to the flat the way. he was in the backroom staff build a bomb. going off lose your mind kill you but who just what. the fuck. moving on from the first run with the outlaw brothers we found various layers of local and federal law enforcement tasked with prosecuting scrappers and range runners. the gentleman who told. me to remain anonymous. on his life when a scrapper he's been tracking placed an i.e.d. or improvised explosive device at his workstation michael lexica has been fired

chief of nylon california for forty. dialing elation fifteen hundred has no police as first responders like sick bear is not only the burden of saving and securing any military ordinance it finds its way into town but also thanklessly risks his own life anyone who's injured or killed in the chocolates at the imperial county sheriff's substation in el centro california a half hour's drive south of niland we met investigator deputy coroner charles lucas it's lucas' that fire chief mike calls when a scrapper range runner suffers a fatal injury or is in possession of military explosive. one of the very few lie military training areas where a jet can come in off of an aircraft carrier do some live fire training day or

night fire rockets drop bombs. they like dropping multiple bombs and that area because. the canyons on both sides muffle the noise and the damage that it does in a town. in one case where they dropped twenty one thousand pound bombs on the range. they had to face almost every window and light bulb and prepare plaster and island for you know a month. and is one of the poorest communities in california. it's in the neighborhood of eighty five percent below federal poverty level. unemployment sixty percent. every january income per family seven thousand dollars.

most cities people a scratch they get some kind of subsistence something from the state or federal government of some type. to california government went from giving to check some of the one check and save and millions and millions of dollars i think it's wrong that you give them one check expect them to make that last thirty days and nothing changes they're still spending they spend twice as much on don't spend twice as much on beer at the end seven days they've got to find some source of income they consider going up getting bomb scraps or explosive a good source and. the scrapping has been heavy there are a lot of people who go out there and go for the metal the aluminum and and

different things like that and unfortunately some of the explosives when you live have any criminal element scrapper or otherwise that is able to access any significant quantities explosive materials it serves no one's business interest particularly in this climate post nine eleven when we were actually a country of war against terrorism. were. way. way. out on. one thing about the

going to bombing range is that it's certain twenty periods that there are quantities of explosive materials out there they drop x. number of bombs well say out of ten bombs maybe one doesn't explode so who knows how many of those are sitting out there. gotta remember the descriptors are hoper tourists if the opportunity presents itself to axis scrap medals for explosives they will do it one particular scrap or retrieve the maverick missile the classified piece of ordnance and removed the explosive payload and where he went with it we don't know the potential for danger to the public is very real it simply highlights the importance of the military again this civilian law enforcement operation supercritical there's a team i've been to court where. oh you stay where you go what you should fancy fifth. patrols out and how are you going to patrol and fan. all of this.

i know i told them the. silliest things they ever did was to. make the fines out of aluminum they're up here scrapping aluminums so much about what they're up here for some people here have no scruples don't know nothing. most of them are my friends they don't kill people so i don't say nothing and they've already been caught for their crimes and sent to prison if you know you go right over here by the fish right here. that phone right there jay bakker bush a back point of interest because you can't go into back of a back to go left they have to go go go. for stealing their fuel or duration and there's an officer right there so we go this way go go go slowly see

this behind i have. for the. man worked as a chef in durango colorado tumbling out to california as low does or he began to rescue any rattlesnakes he found the nile and releasing them on the bombing range he's been bitten one thousand times. i forget all the stuff you supposed to do out here. you're not supposed to from here and i've learned from that and i sure know what to look out for. twenty millimeter. device. here and here if it went off in my hand it could kill like ten people are making them. get to be flying over and they have guests and he will. hear the noise and you'll find a bunch in his computer and what they do is trying to cool girls. be on the ground

for about a mile. and there's money but you need that when they're not touching. your lover second chances everything else in the experiment is just such as. i thought for me you really were giving her to try to hurt people. we can make arrangements on you pretty quick here and you'd be hoping that the officer there was here to help you. begin for the officer the time i got through it you know nothing of you. we harbor convinced the law enforcers to do that there are sleeper cells of terrorist homeless in this country today. according to chief michael lexica it ain't rocket science to disassemble unexploded ordinance or you xo to access the plastic explosive easy access to both easy easy access to fire

a device is. a smoke grenade to be made into a bomb. that's made into an actual grenade by using. simple over the mark over the counter devices so i think the potential is there yes w t t v thirteen we can do. we begin tonight with an exclusive story we first brought you last night and it all has to do with a major explosives find in imperial county good evening everyone i'm erica is out now with k s news that's our top story tonight sheriff's deputies recovered the explosives of ammunition in a niland home they say it's the largest illegal ammunition find ever in niland some of it included fifty caliber live machine gun ammo and they are fifteen cluster bombs and the highest houser level before bomb but it is what i told you that they would rate it is zero sum to go that they're going to. try to get

the f.b.i. and a.t.f. involved in it nobody wanted to do it and so into a corner and blowing everything themselves with their bombs and. that was around the time of the convention in palm springs and that's was my concern you know there's. bombs chief mike made a frightening connection a major political of that was about to convene in palm springs california eighty miles northwest of niland they were receiving rooms warm to receive a convention going i didn't. and what he really is today. federal government's. rules and many times you'll find people who are law enforcement agencies say well so what if the military is just losing submit to kids and they just don't really understated that it's more the middle going away. executing a search warrant investigators lucas and she the lexicon discovered photos and
